Adele paid an emotional tribute to the victims of the London terror attack at her concert in New Zealand.

The British singer, 28, dedicated her song Make You Feel My Love to the people who lost their lives in the Westminster attack.

Adele encouraged fans to shine a light as she told the 50,000 strong-crowd that she wanted to be back at home in the capital.

“Today there was a terror attack in my hometown of London,” she said. “I'm literally on the other side of the world and I want them to see our lights and to hear us.

"When something like that happens in your hometown, you don't have a feeling of being glad that you're so far away, what you feel is that you wish you could be there with loved ones to stand alongside them."

He continued: “London is a diverse and proud and brilliant city and one thing is for sure: If this act of terrorism was supposed to divide the people of London, I know for a fact that all something like this does is bring them closer together as one.

“Tonight, we send our heartfelt thoughts to everybody in Britain. Stay safe.”
